Purpose:

The purpose of the Special Friends Ministry is to allow those individuals and families affected by special needs to engage in the life of the church fully. We offer an inclusive, specialized ministry that gives families the freedom to attend worship services, knowing that their special-needs loved ones are included in a safe, Christ-centered environment. Special Friends Ministry provides trained Buddies who individually engage with each child. Our buddies are always welcoming, accepting, and loving - a true reflection of God’s love.

Ages:

Currently, the focus of the Special Friends Ministry is on children with special needs birth – age 12, with hopes to expand the ministry to include other age groups in the future.

When:

Special Friends is offered during the 10:45am service on Sunday mornings.
